The insanity is getting worse, aided and abetted by the Democratic Party.
Hospitals in the United Kingdom have begun using the term âchestfeedingâ instead of âbreastfeeding,â just years after U.S. academics published a study in which they argued that the promotion of breastfeeding as the "natural" way to feed a child has many negative societal effects.
In early 2021, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals in the United Kingdom drew international criticism for swapping the word âbreastfeedingâ for âchestfeedingâ in an attempt to be more inclusive of transgender individuals.
Likewise, Harvard Medical School referred to women as âbirthing peopleâ in an effort to âinclude those who identify as non-binary or transgender," as Campus Reform previously reported.
âWe are concerned about breastfeeding promotion that praises breastfeeding as the ânaturalâ way to feed infants,â wrote Jessica Martucci of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and Anne Barnhill of Johns Hopkins University in the journal Pediatrics. âPromoting breastfeeding as ânaturalâ may be ethically problematic, and, even more troublingly, it may bolster this belief that ânaturalâ approaches are presumptively healthier."

Academics called breastfeeding 'ethically problematic' because it endorses 'gender roles.' Their view is gaining traction.
U.S. academics wrote in study published in 2016 that the promotion of breastfeeding as the "natural" way to feed infants is "ethically problematic."
